🇮🇳🇮🇷Iran conflict disrupts India's glass manufacturing hub Oil and gas supply disruptions linked to the war in Iran are rippling into Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state and a dense network of specialized manufacturing clusters. Firozabad, known as India's glass capital, is among the districts exposed — alongside brass-producing Moradabad, leather in Kanpur, and carpet manufacturing in Bhadohi. Uttar Pradesh's industrial structure relies on district-level specialization with tightly integrated supply chains. Energy-intensive sectors like glassmaking are directly vulnerable to fuel cost spikes and supply volatility — transmission effects that mid-range conflicts can produce far beyond the immediate theater. The disruption illustrates how Iran-linked energy shocks carry downstream industrial risk into South Asia's manufacturing base, with implications for employment across one of the world's most populated regions. #India#Iran @asianomics
